- say what you will about Oklahoma, but ive never met a people so dedicated to being relentlessly unpleasant
- Reposted by lil rootAlthough ICE agents absolutely should not be wearing masks, acting like the brutality will stop because their faces are showing is quite naive. Police forces brutalize people all the time with their faces outs, name tags, badges and body cams. The only solution is no ICE.
- Reposted by lil rootone of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

- Reposted by lil rootJeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.
- Reposted by lil rootI don't post enough about the other central pillar of my politics, aside from anti fascism: being anti car cars are bad in almost every way, especially in cities if you go to even large, bustling cities that are actually dense, they are quieter than US cities because you can get away from cars

It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.
